The Hobart Convict Penitentiary, was the dark heart of the convict system in Tasmania.

Behind the high, imposing walls, 55,000 men ate, prayed, slept and were punished.

‘Pandemonium – The Convict Film Experience’ guided tour is an immersive audio-visual experience projected four metres tall onto the walls within the original Penitentiary Chapel where the convicts actually sat.

The film contextually connects the convict sites around the state, and explores the journey – from conviction, to transportation and beyond – of our convict ancestors.

It is recommended that parents and guardians enquire about the Pandemonium experience’s specific content, before deciding whether the material is suitable for their child.

"Projected four metres tall onto the walls of Hobart’s most important convict building Pandemonium delivers an experience that drives right to the heart of Tasmania’s dark past."

Prof. Hamish Maxwell-Stuart
